Too Much?

I’m fairly certain that I’m closing in on new territory. Seriously, at what point does the cross over from ‘a girl who likes owls’ to ‘a crazy owl hoarder’ happen? It seems eerily close 😉 I even told myself earlier this month “Hey, self. Enough owls. Cut the crap. It’s getting weird.” Buuuut… then I spotted this cute lil’ guy at a local thrift store, for FOUR dollahs! Do the double check over your shoulders, toss him in the cart.

I went into the store with intensions of finding a filler for this space, in Zoey’s room. It’s a tiny, empty whole that just seemed a bit off, and I’ve been on the hunt for something, ever since we first posted about the art wall here.

I have him a few coats of glossy white spray paint and now we’re bffs. Just kidding. But he’s cute.

And the space looks a little more ‘finished’.

Bonus – Zoey loooves him.

And because I can’t keep it locked inside anymore – Lil’ Owl had a twin at the store. And I bought them both. Eek!

I have had a little “thing” for owls for a long time, too. Which is weird, because I hate all birds in real life. They are so cute, though! He looks really great in white, too. Can’t wait to see where you put his twin.

Hilarious. I am an owl lover from way back too and I did the same EXACT thing this weekend. I hung my head in shame for bringing FOUR new owls home AND spray painted one of them glossy white…birds of a feather, right?

I am not sure if you can ever have too many owls. But I might be biased, because I am an owl hoarder too. But, seriously when a little coat of white spray paint makes them so cute how can you resist? Look forward to seeing where you put his twin.

Ive never understood owl obsessions, but I think that’s because my grandmother collected then. When I was little and would visit her house I’d count every owl in the house to see if she had added anymore. The count was usually 20+. So for me owls are associated with the smell of cigarettes and perfume. But your little guy is pretty cute.

Nothing like a fresh coat of white paint! That simple treatment brought a seriously dated plaque to life and made it a great addition to this vignette. Like Kimberly, my maternal grandma had a huge collection of owls. Although my mom always swore owls were bad luck, I can still see their appeal. Plus, I can never look at one without thinking of her. Thankfully, she didn’t chain smoke like my parents, but she did like a scotch nightcap. She also had a rather mod white tufted faux leather couch that was pretty glam in it’s day too.
